Paris Metro -> Line 1
Bastille

Transfers
Landmarks
Bastille Column
Opera House

This is the ONLY station that Line 1 is above ground for. The only other above ground section is crossing the River Seine by La Defense. The approaches to this station have the tightest radius curves in passenger service. The station is shoe horned to go under Bastille Circle yet cross over a canal. hence the curves. A neat station.
